Los Angeles, California Hard Rock quartet GOD BOX was initiated during 1997. This band included the former WITCH duo of drummer Punky Peru (a.k.a. Perry Bower) and singer Peter Wabbit (real name Peter Allen but for this act renamed Peter Soul). They would be joined by the ROD STEWART band credited bassist Phil Chen with ex-DIO man Rowan Robertson on guitar. 

GOD BOX recorded a six-song demo produced by HEART guitarist Howard Leese, which included the WITCH track 'Take Me Away', at Music Box Studios in Hollywood. This set notably featured guest appearances by GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash, keyboard maestro Keith Emerson, Howard Leese, and BILLY IDOL guitarist Steve Steven.
